Summary
The Xpeng G6 is an all-electric mid-sized SUV, and its arrival marks the debut of Chinese marque Xpeng in the UK. First unveiled in 2023, the model launched in the UK in Spring 2025.
Described by Neil Briscoe of Auto Express as “verging on being desirable” and by James Morris of Which EV? as “the start of something special”, reviewer opinion on the G6 varies but is largely positive – the SUV collecting a solid set of UK-based review scores and favourable comparisons to established rivals.
“”The Xpeng G6 is like a Tesla Model Y with the benefit of hindsight”, says Steve Fowler of The Independent, “bettering its big rival in many key areas especially quality and comfort – and on price.” Parker’s Ted Welford agrees, explaining that the G6’s interior is “generally easier to work with.”
The Top Gear team commended the car for its comfort and space, but concluded “this is not a car for involved drivers”, as the G6 offers a more tech-led experience than most of the long-standing carmakers currently offer.
As of February 2026, the Xpeng G6 holds a New Car Expert Rating of A, with a score of 76%.

“The Xpeng G6 is a practical electric car with great software and a good range, but it’s not as good to drive as a Tesla Model Y.”

“Can you improve an EV by making its battery smaller? It would seem so, as the updated XPeng G6 feels more convincing than the original version, and the rapid Black Edition model is verging on being desirable. The cabin quality has been improved, and the charging experience is remarkable. It just needs to be more fun to drive.”

“First XPeng to arrive in the UK sets a high bar for what’s to come; competitive and decent value, the XPeng G6 is a worthy rival to the Tesla Model Y.”

“The Xpeng G6 appeals to the head rather than the heart, with its long, reliable range, fast charging, comfortable and specious interior, plus what great value it is compared with rivals. Where the G6 package falls down is on the move. It is a tidy enough drive, but the Renault and Skoda offer more. “

“Xpeng has tried its hardest to keep up with the very best in what is possibly one of the most crowded classes of EV right now, and has mostly succeeded. The G6 is smooth, refined, spacious and well built – making it more than competitive enough against Tesla’s Model Y. Is it perfect? No. It’s also as bland as a Model Y to look at (perhaps even more so) and far from the most interesting thing to drive but offers it plenty else besides.”

“The XPeng G6 is good to drive, boasts a spacious interior and is well equipped, so you shouldn’t discount it on the basis of never having heard of the brand before. Despite generic styling and some fiddly infotainment, XPeng is clearly hoping to make an impact with the G6, and a competitive warranty should also help sweeten the deal.”

Score: 9 / 10
“The Xpeng G6 takes things to the next level. The driving experience has a genuinely premium feel, it has a long range, ultra-rapid charging, lots of space, and the latest technology. And all that for under £40,000 for the G6 RWD Standard Range model, and under £45,000 for the G6 RWD Long Range model, meaning that the G6 is priced more competitively than many rivals.

“XPeng’s first venture into the UK market is, in many ways, an impressive one. The Chinese firm has delivered a slick, premium SUV with a well-built and comfortable interior, at a price that undercuts many rivals. It’s decent value for money if you can live with its flaws.”

“The Xpeng G6 has definite promise – if the price is right. It has a strong sense of quality and a high level of technology, with good range and performance plus practical space for passengers and cargo. With more models coming from the brand over the next couple of years, this could be the start of something special. But the G6 will face plenty of competition, particularly from Tesla’s market-leading Model Y.”

As of February 2026, the Xpeng G6 has not been assessed by Green NCAP.
The Green NCAP programme measures exhaust pollution (which is zero for an electric car) and energy efficiency. Electric cars are much more energy-efficient than combustion cars, so the G6 is likely to score very highly in Green NCAP testing if and when it takes place. Check back again soon.

The Xpeng G6 is a relatively expensive car to own and run, according to whole-life cost numbers provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our data partner, Clear Vehicle Data.
While the car’s average battery range of 312 miles (ranging from 270 to 354 miles) is competitive in the medium SUV class, the Xpeng is predicted to sit in a high insurance bracket. Many close rivals, such as the Ford Explorer and Volkswagen ID.4 are estimated to be cheaper to insure. That is possibly due to Xpeng’s unknown reliability record. That said, the Tesla Model Y is predicted to sit in an even higher insurance bracket.
